your ID: 0288 First Name: Saxton Last Name: Richard Affiliation: ESA/XMM-SOC Title: The XMM hard band slew survey Authors: Richard Saxton, Andrew Read, Michael Freyberg, Pili Esquej, Bruno Altieri, Topic: 1 Session: oral Abstract: For 10. Surveys The XMM-Newton slew survey, with a limiting flux of 4E-12 ergs/s/cm^2, is the deepest medium energy (2-12 keV) X-ray \"all-sky\" survey performed to date. A first catalogue (XMMSL1) derived from slews over 15% of the sky, containing 261 hard band sources has recently been released. With a positional accuracy of 8 arcseconds, an unambiguous ID can be found in many cases and the extragalactic source fraction is seen to be 70%. The scope for producing a large, fully-identified, flux-limited sample of AGN from the survey is discussed together with its usefulness in pinpointing and identifying AGN found by Integral.
